This is not working with firefox from today but works fine with IE.

Do you have any idea what the issue could be?

It's working just fine for me. It's an issue on your end. Check that you have the latest version of Flash and that you have no conflicting FF extensions (check AdBlock or NoScript).

I just modified both BB codes so that the full screen button is now available. I didn't realize it was missing until someone just told me yesterday.

I have an idea that you might like to add :)

How you have "Borked"

I have changed it to "Video Error - Check here to make sure you have added it correctly."

This takes them to the FAQ so they can see the example etc.

Ok heres my idea I hope you are able to do it.

Instead of "Borked" could you make it so its an actual link to the correct video on youtube that opens in a new window? This way if the embedding fails on a site like it has mine a few times then it would show a link to video instead.

Thanks a lot :)

Maybe you could have it as:

Quote:

"If no video is showing it could have been added incorrectly or there could be a technical issue.
Click here to view the video on youtube's site. (links to youtube and the correct video)

If you have added this video click here to make sure you have added it correctly. " (links to FAQ about youtube tag and example)

Of course the above would all be worded how you wish as I am just giving rough examples :p

It says a lot more than one word but it would stop us all coming back here asking whats the problem especially for human error.
I would think you could do this pretty easily but what do I know :eek:
Thanks for saying you liked the idea :) I hope at some point in the future you have some time to give it a try.

Regards,
James

OK, here's what I changed it to.

HTML Code:

Something went wrong.  Please make sure you added the video correctly.  Click <a href="misc.php?do=bbcode">here</a> to see how YouTube videos should be embedded.  There could also be a technical issue that's not your fault.  Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">here</a> to view the video on YouTube's site.  If this link doesn't work, you did something wrong.

Thanks for the recommendation. Hopefully this'll save some headaches.

Thit is perfect :) Thanks very much for your time.

I altered it a little on my site so itgoes straight to the youtube bbcode instead of all bb codes.

<a href="misc.php?do=bbcode#youtube" target="_blank">

Also I made both links open in seperate windows as this suits me but may not suit others :)

Thanks once again.

Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />Something went wrong. Please make sure you added the video correctly. Click <a href="misc.php?do=bbcode#youtube" target="_blank">here</a> to see how YouTube videos should be embedded. There could also be a technical issue that's not your fault. Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}" target="_blank">here</a> to view the video on YouTube's site. If this link doesn't work, you did something wrong.</object>

Unfortunately, it appears that YouTube has removed the ability to embed HQ and HD videos using the &fmt=22 trick. As a result, I'm going to remove the youtubehd tag from my script.

Fangs404

OK, HD videos will work again. I had to change &fmt=22 to &hd=1.

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:34 AM.
